Video: Lebanese town living in hospital

TIBNINI, Lebanon — The ambulances raced south into the center of the fighting, through empty villages, on dirt roads, past bombed gas stations. Our driver struggled to keep up.

The goal: to reach Tibnini, a Lebanese village 10 miles from the Israeli border. It was rumored that everyone there was holed up in a hospital, hoping it was safe from Israeli airstrikes.

The rumors were true. The hospital was full of refugees. Mattresses in every corner. Nothing to eat but bread and canned meat. Water running low, power off and on, and only one doctor.

Everyone who is left in this village is now living here. There are 300 people in this hospital and they all want to leave. But they can't afford to. Taxis now charge up to $1,000 to drive the dangerous route to Beirut.

The Horiz family told me they walked for two days as Israel shelled their village.
